Time to prepare for the festive season

With less than six weeks to Christmas, it's time to get organised. Presents must be purchased and wrapped, but more importantly have you booked your nails, brows and waxing appointments yet?

I'd highly advise you start booking as I have never seen so many people so super organised. With being locked down for so long people really are looking forward to Christmas this year. It might be their first time out meeting people in a long time so you really want to look your best and more importantly - feel your best. A bit of pampering can be so relaxing and balancing, and just what you need - but don't leave it until the last minute as appointments are filling up fast.

This year so far eyelash lifting is the number one sought after treatment and a patch test is required. It works on lifting the natural lashes and is suitable for all ages. It includes tinting to darken the lighter hairs which gives a real pop to the eyes.

Eyebrow lamination is number two at the moment and works extremely well on older ladies' brows which might have lightened during the hormonal changes through the menopause. The treatment itself helps to straighten the hair and lift and sculpt them into position. It includes tinting also.

The Gelish two-week manicure is a fantastic way to have your nails done for both Santa and the New Year. Some clients start in early December with their first set and by the week before Christmas get the second set so they have a bit of length.

With party nights out we will have to put on the make-up again, and it always goes on better with fresh skin. Book a detox facial in November and your skin will thank you for it. It will help peel off the layers of dead cells with salicylic acid, detox the peptides, and gives the deepest hydration with hyaluronic acid to promote anti-ageing and collagen production. Your make-up will glide on and you will be glowing for all the family snaps.

To book in for your Christmas appointments, call Jill on 064 6632966.

A new event has been added to the extensive Wander Wild Festival next weekend.

Kerry Orienteers will run a family-friendly Urban Orienteering event as part of the festival on March 25.

Participants can start at the Killarney Plaza Hotel Basecamp anytime from 2-4pm on Saturday.

Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport which involves walking or running whilst navigating around a course using a detailed map and sometimes a compass. And the Wander Wild Street Orienteering will have courses suitable for all ages and abilities.

“The aim is to navigate in sequence between a set of control points and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace. If you need any help or tips members of Kerry Orienteering Club will be available to assist during the day,” said organiser Brendan O’Brien.

Two routes are available: ‘Wander’ – 2km (easy, wheelchair and buggy accessible) and Wild – 4km (moderate), and bookings can be made via: https://t.ly/jHm2R.

A popular annual table quiz, which raises funds to send Kerry children and young adults with special needs to Lourdes, will be held in Killarney next week.

The Tim Moore Memorial Table Quiz will be held in the Gleneagle Hotel at 7.30pm on Wednesday, March 29.

The entry fee for tables of four is €40 and it is €20 for teams of four schoolchildren with great prizes up for grabs on the night.

All proceeds will go to the Irish Pilgrimage Trust which organises trips to Lourdes every Easter for children and young adults with additional needs.

They will be brought on the pilgrimage on Easter Sunday and all the volunteer helpers and medical staff that will accompany them will cover for their own travel costs.

The annual quiz, which is running for close on 30 years, is dedicated to the memory of the late Killarney accountant Tim Moore who was a tireless campaigner for the Irish Pilgrimage Trust. He passed away, suddenly, in 2002 and his friends have continued the quiz as a tribute to his legacy and to ensure the charity continues to be supported.

It hasn’t been held for the past two years due to the pandemic but all involved are thrilled that it is back for 2023.

Kieran Coffey, the retired principal of Fossa National School, is one of those who spearhead the Kerry pilgrimage to Lourdes and he has appealed to the public to support the very important fundraiser which helps offset some of the costs involved.

“We are delighted to be in a position to continue Tim’s great work and to dedicate the quiz to him. The event is always so well supported by the people of the greater Killarney area and we greatly appreciate that generosity,” said Kieran.
